The contemporary consumer is bombarded with fear-inducing images
and information. This media shower of imagery is equalled only by
the sheer quantity of fear-assuaging products offered for our
consumption. "The Politics of Everyday Fear" addresses questions
raised by the saturation of social space by capitalized fear.
Emphasizing the relatively neglected domain of what might be called
"ambient" fear - continually rekindled, low-level fear that
insinuates itself into people's daily routine, subtly reshaping
their lives - "The Politics of Everyday Fear" approaches fear less
as a psychological fixation than a fluid mechanism for the social
control order of late capitalism. Brian Massumi is the author of
"User's Guide to Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Deviations From
Deleuze and Guattari" (1992) and with Kenneth Dean of "First and
Last Emperors: the Absolute State and the Body of the Despot
(1992)". He has translated many books and written many essays on
contemporary discourses. This book is intended for undergraduates
and graduate students in media studies, interdisciplinary cultural
theory, comparative literature, postmodernism, Marxism and
post-structuralist media theory.
